Theater In College Hoops

Pretty simple premise here... it's the midway point of the season so we had to revisit our preseason predictions. Which takes are up in flames? Which thoughts are trending down? Which predictions are trending up? And which predictions are a slam dunk. We go across our COY, POY & Championship picks and we got a few great ones to reminisce on. Subbi also goes in on Clemson for not only being fra...

We welcome back an old (and best) friend to the program as Mike Burgomaster from the Auburn Tigers was kind enough to come through. Truly one of the best dudes that is currently on a college basketball sideline. We discuss his tremendous promotion from Director of Ops to Assistant Coach and all of the new responsibilities that come with it. We also talk about Auburn's win streak and the key person...

Had a lot of fun chatting with our old friend and great pal, Riley Davis. We catch up with Riley to find out what's going on in his world these days with the launch of his new podcast. We had to ask him about UNC and their ceiling (or roof) this year as well as ask about the rhetoric surrounding Hubert Davis. Subbi tries to shake him with some questions about BC and we revisit some of his boldest...

We. Are. BACK! And it feels so damn good. After a 3 week hiatus of getting pudgy on sweets and alcohol, Taylor and Subbi return to talk about Seton Hall's meteoric week and how they were able to knock off Providence and Marquette. Then we chat about the depth and incredible play of the SEC. So many teams in double figures regarding wins and Georgia... yes Georgia has the league's longest win strea...

Had to bring back an old friend to discuss hoops and it was a great time. We welcome back to the program Tobias Bass from The Athletic. Always a joy to chat with him as we dive into everything and anything. We talk surprising teams and disappointing teams. Wade Taylor's great performance from Saturday was on the table and we also talk about the great guard play we're seeing between Braden Smith an...

Incredible episode today as we sit down with Inside College Basketball's, Chris Walker. We go into detail about playing for Rollie Massimino and his recruiting story about a kid from Texas going to Philadelphia. Then we talk about some incredible stories that occurred in the Big East during his playing days and one hilarious story you'll have to hear about his coaching journey. We talk about the l...

Got a big episode for ya today as we only had a couple of topics but we cover multiple teams. First we talk takeaways from the Texas/Marquette game. What a but whoopin that was for the Golden Eagles but the focus should be on Texas. Where are they going to get scoring from outside of Max Abmas? Texas' resume hasn't been great so let's see where they go from here. Then we play a lil game of "Are yo...

Big time slate of games as we recap the Jimmy V Classic. Illinois shot the leather off the rock in their win against FAU but is that sustainable for them as they forge forward in the Big Ten. Is FAU just a little too high in the rankings? We discuss the big takeaways from a huge win for the Illini. Then we recap UConn/UNC. Simply put, there's levels to this. UNC is very good... UConn is just a buz...

Well, no Taylor today and I forgot to turn my mic on so the audio isn't that terrific but we got it done. We kick off the episode with takeaways from the ACC/SEC challenge. Great win from Arkansas and UNC but on the flip side we have to ponder what is going on with Vanderbilt and Florida. Then we talk about Isaiah Stevens and the great start for the Colorado State Rams. He is officially a foxhole...

Subbi is not feeling too great so this audio might sound like his nose is filled with pounds of mucus. Nevertheless we power through to discuss the Arizona/MSU record viewership and we also talk about USC's loss to Oklahoma that may have startled some. We should probably give credit to Oklahoma. Then we preview the Duke/Arkansas game and Taylor gives out some winners and highlights our segments. L...

Truly one of the best interviews we've done here at TICH. We welcome on the great Brent Stover. You know him from Inside College Basketball sitting a few seats over from Jon Rothstein, but did you know he's a country musician as well? Brent was such a treat to chat with as we explore his rise through media, talk everything Kansas State hoops and get a better understand of how he decided to pluck t...

This one is for the Cougars of Washington State! Got a great episode here as we sat down with Cougs Assistant Coach, Jeremy Harden. We talk everything from his multiple stops at the JUCO level to his time at Boise State and now in Pullman. Simply put, the guy knows ball. He takes us behind the curtain about his coaching journey and sheds some light on what we can expect with Wazzu this upcoming se...

Big episode as we're back from a 1 episode hiatus. We talk about the Arizona win in Cameron and what that means for the team moving forward. We also talk about ranking fluctuation as a result of that game. Then we dive into some Champions Classic content as Michigan State drops to 1-2. Spoiler alert: they can't shoot! May need to find some answers inside of the arc. Then we had to highlight Syracu...

Man that offseason flew by but at the same time took for goddamn ever. So glad to be back talking real games and real hoops as we dive into JMU's shocking upset of the Spartans. What does it mean for MSU? Then we credit Princeton for taking their rightful place as King Of New Jersey. We also had to laugh quite a bit at the UMBC/Louisville ending. We wrap up with some new segments and Taylor is bac...

We have finally reached the end of the offseason and I'm so glad the season is upon us. No more "secret scrimmage" nonsense. No more transfer portal talk. No more hypotheticals and graphs and projects etc. It's time to tip the pill and get goin. Before we do that I had to break down our second set of Mid Majors: CAA, WAC & WCC. There are some solid teams in here and some talented players. I al...

We close out the offseason with a tremendous interview with Xavier broadcaster and co-host of the Sean Miller Podcast, Paul Fritschner. Paul was a blast to speak with as he takes us through his journey through media and how he as ascended to a point where he's chopping it up with Sean Miller on a weekly basis. We also talk about Xavier's past and look forward to this team. There's so much roster t...

The power conferences are complete so it's time to give the mid majors their well deserved shine! We covered 2 teams that are looking to prove their Final 4 run was not a fluke. We had to dive into the Mountain West, the A10 & the AAC. Can't lie... the A10 is not that appetizing but we look at the likes of Tyson Degenhart, DaRon Holmes & Max Fiedler while also highlighting our boy Josh Coh...

Our previews have taken us to the last power conference for a preview... the PAC 12! We break down and make some predictions regarding champs, COY & POY in the swan song for this conference. Can Tad Boyle and the Buffs make some noise? Can UCLA rebound after their big losses in personnel? Will Mike Hopkins answer the bell? Is anybody even listening to me? Had a lot of fun breaking down this co...

If we got the Crier on that means we're talking Big East hoops! Our previews take us to one of the most compelling and deep conferences in the country. Somehow, the coaches are more interesting to us than the players. We take a look at the future COY, POY & Champs. The top 3 is pretty clear but who else can make some noise? We also talk about Cooley's return to Providence of course and finish...

We're taking a break from the previews to bring you one more interview prior to the start of the season. We're lucky to have on Erik Haslam to shed some light into what goes into his models and projections each and every season. Erik is such a bright and gregarious guy that it was impossible not to have a smile during the entire interview. We dive into the "analytics" vs. "gut" debate, the evolvin...

Our previews now take us to Big 12 country! Time to dive into the fresh new faces that will eventually run this conference. Just a plethora of great transfers when you talk about Hunter Dickinson, Tylor Perry, RayJ Dennis and Max Absmas to name a few. Can Bill Self rack up another COY and will anyone knock off Kansas for the title? The league just like last year should be a thrill to watch. We als...

Our previews roll on as we make our way to the midwest to discuss the Big Ten! What a conference, what a list of teams, what rosters. It's all really breathtaking. I think this conference is going to send close to double digit teams to the dance. We take a stab at POY, COY & Champ. Can anyone dethrone Edey & Purdue for those awards? We also get into it about Tom Izzo's latest comments rega...

Back at it with the predictions but this time we're heading to the ACC. Subbi took a pretty big hack as it relates to his predictions because they don't make a ton of sense but I guess we'll see how it plays out. We talk a little transfer portal, a lil COY, POY & Champion and finish it off with some pretty mind blowing ACC trivia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Say it with me, folks. It just. Means. MORE. That's right we dive into the SEC today to give our predictions for the season. Who is going to win COY? What about POY? How about the eventual champion? We answer all of that for you here today and also talk about the best transfers coming into the SEC. We end the program on a bit of baseball talk as October is finally here... which also means hoops is...

I do believe we are under 50 days away from the college basketball season and that has your boys PAVLOVING for the season. We dive into the Arterio Morris suspension and how that will impact the Jayhawks. We also touch base in Hanover, NH to discuss what is happening with the Dartmouth basketball team and how they're attempting to unionize. We also have a set date for Ed Cooley's return and Subbi...
